I had to ask everyone why they had brought fire extinguishers with them?

Downpipe mid construction. Turbo exit is 4" v band into 2x 3" down pipes which with a little man maths I estimate to flow as well as a single 5".

Turbo manifold construction in progress.

Thanks to the organisers. I really enjoyed my first OC event for 6 years and good to see some of the same faces. Shame I never got it on the rollers but a small misfire on the way down made me bottle it. Thanks to Pete for fixing the misfire (loose HT lead!). Roll on the next one!

Hi all, I have been a member on here now for over 8 years now. I have learned lots from different members on here, from my first supercharger build to my last turbo build this site has been an invaluable source of information. My intention has always been to write a build thread to help inspire others as I have been inspired from reading many build threads on here. Anyway here is my project car. Its a 2000 W reg 2.8 24v 4 motion with 18x8J Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2's With plans for big power in the future I decided to upgrade the seats to save weight

Time to start wiring this lot together. After hours and hours starting to make sense of it. This is my version of a millspec consentric twist.

Well I didn't wanna comment myself but now you've raised the subject pal this could be interesting. [emoji108][emoji23] I guess it became obvious mate when the green goddess rolled up. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji106]

Couple of photos from the weekend, before popping to a local car meet. It's in it first show this weekend, just a local classic car show, but should be good. Still got a rusty passenger wing, as I haven't bought a replacement yet. I want a genuine one, but I don't want to pay top dollar for it. So keeping my eyes out.

I then sourced a Golf mk4 R32 engine block as the mk5 BUB engine im using has a cast crank that will not cope with the planned power output. The BUB block was then sent off to be honed from 84mm to 84.5 as cylinder no 3 had a score mark from detonation in its past supercharged life, despite only having done 34,000 miles. I then test fitted the crank girdle, only to find that it would not sit level due to a bit of exess casting on one of the main caps The cap was soon ground down and we where back in business. VW R36 main bearing arrived not the most

I'm surprised I didn't get that by default, for the most shit heat wrap!!!!

An extra car on the rollers. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] Now if there were the 25 as per the day before I might not of had to bring home turd of the day trophie. [emoji23][emoji23]

Yeah great day guys, thanks to all who organised and helped. Some great cars and good folk to chat with.... What more could you want?!

You'll need to get the lower grilles as they're a slightly different shape to euro spec. Also, if you want, you could get the us indicators, they clip straight in as opposed to the euro spec ones have to be screwed into the bumper. Beware, the rear number plate tubs are plastic and can be very brittle. My mountings fell to bits when the bootlid was stripped for paint prep, fortunately, Bennyk is a bit of a whizz when it comes to repairing stuff. Unless you want to delock the boot, make sure the you receive that part too, it's very easy to change the lock tumblers over so your key works. I'm

I presume I will need a US spec splitter to go with it. Is there anything else I will need?

Fibreglass heat wrap![emoji85] Who'd of thought eh!![emoji23]

I'm selling my 3 door Highline if you're interested. £2500, really lovely example. It's on the Facebook page or text me 07734244882

Was good catching up Hope you can attend some more events with us this year

A bacon buttie ?

boy oh boy..im looking forward to this buddy. Top build.ya jammy sod..very sweet

Ha look at you showing off with your GCSE French...or was it O-level back in your day??

This looks like it going to be an amazing build! Keep it up buddy!

Tell us more, tell us more!!!!! [emoji2][emoji1362]

That's good to know I'll send him a message later. I'm looking for a body shop to do the work on mine at the minute as my local guy moved to Devon. I read through BennyK's build thread it was impressive, where's he based?

When I did my transmission overhaul - I fitted a vaelo clutch kit - comes with everything that's needed. Picked up a clutch fork from VW at a cost between £11 - £15. Job done, if you have already replaced slave cylinder already the should be good for a long time to come

Ok thanks for the info will give update this weekend .

That's nice. [emoji108]

That's what it's about mate. Least you can get it fixed I put mine on to see if things are looking ok before my mapping session. Glad everyone had a great day. I enjoyed it immensely [emoji106]🏻[emoji106]🏻

Had a feeling the golf wasn't performing as normal a week prior to the meet. The rollers confirmed. I was down approx 100bhp due to a suspect fault with the wastegate. Had a great day with the club at stealth again, thanks to everyone involved with the organising of it. Looking forward to the next one

Hi VR6Pete, great to see you stayed loyal to the badge , I would normally say it feels great to be back but it's almost impossible to find a decent vr nowadays!!! Been a long while since I was in the game can't wait to own another!!

I've just noticed the list as changed haha. As I'm on it, now I'm not. I'm guessing I'm still on club stand yeah[emoji2].

@VR6CABBS Hey Carl, after waking up from my winter social network slumber I've noticed that you guys haven't updated Squeals' membership to moderator. A minor oversight I'm sure..
